ASTOKIA, OIIEGOX:
TUESDAY OCTOHKK ,
Northern Paciiic Hatters.
TiieN.Y. Thnes of the Gth,
says: "A large portion of" the
Wall street community imagined
yesterday that they could see the
hand of Jay Gould reaching out
toward Oregon and Transconti
nental and Northern Pacific stocks.
1 was asserted by some.of Yillard's
friends, -with great positiveness, J
that Gould held an important con
ference with ''Prince Henry" dur
ing the day. arid that the momen
tous question of what is to become
of the Northern Pacific had been
settled. Gould was reported to
have agreed to take hold -with
A'illard and boom the stocks bear
ing the latters name. It is said
that Gould and some of his friends
propose to furnish a sufficient
amount bf money to take care of
the Northern Pacific railroad com
pairy's floating debt, and to buy
up certain blocks of stock which
have lately been rather gingerly
held by apprehensive capitalists.
Some of Gould's friends gave color
to these reports by saying that
both Gould and Sage had thought
favorable of Northern Pacific
stock, and "it was quite possible
they would become interested in
those stocks.
"If Gould goes in with Villard,"
exclaimed a sagacious broker, "he
has satisfied himself that he can
make the combination pay him in
some way or other. Perhaps
he has come to the conclusion that
the only way to make a market of
his own favorite stocks is to start
a big bull movement in Yillard's,
which many brokers think are
now ripe for just such a move
ment." Little doubt was expressed on
the street as to the fact of the re
ported conference between Villard
and Gould, and there was a strong
belief in many quarters that either
Gould or persons representing him
would enter the directory of the
Oregon and Transcontinental very
soon.
The Worhl says: Frank
"Work's office was the scene of an
other conference yesterda3- be
tween Gould and Villard, and
Wall street was excited by the
news. Every broker had his
theory as to the nature of the con
ference. The principals -kept very
quiet in regard to the matter, and
soon after the meeting left the
street JE The general belief is that
the subject of the discussion was
the financial condition of the
Northern Pacific. It was an
nounced that while the details
could not be ascertained, the re
sult of the meeting was a plan to
provide for the floating debt of the
Northern Pacific, Gould promising
to aid in accomplishing this result
It was also stated that Gould had
obtained a large interest in the
Oregon and Transcontinental, and
would enter the directory. The
effect of the operations, it was in
tended, should be to impart
strength to the general market.
Sims, assistant" vice president of
the Northern Pacific, pronounced
absolutely absurd the reported
conference between Villard and
Gould. Another prominent official
of the company also expressed his
belief in the report, but said. Vil
lard alone could speak on the mat
ter. Sims said that traffic on the
Northern Pacific, since the open
ing of the -completed road, had ex
ceeded their expectations. Their
gross earnings during. September
amounted to. $1,210,000, an in
crease of S437,1C2 2S over Sep
temper, ite.. ine passenger
traffic, he said, had been ver
large.
The recent depression in Vil
lard stocks, it is said on the
streets, has entailed heavy losses
to many of its capitalists. One
prominent operator, who made
his fortune in mining stocks, is
said to have lost upwards of $G,
000... Among others :named as be
mg heavy losers is George P.
Pullman, president of the Pullman
Palace Car company, and reports
emanating from Boston severely
reflected on his financial standing,
and stated that the -Pullman Car
company intended to create a new
mortgage on its property: Gen
eral Horace Porter, vice president
of the company, yesterday pro-
ounced the reports absolutely un
true, and he denounced, in strong
terms, their authors.
Kiernaii's Jrcics: It may' be"
safely asserted that the question
of the Northern Pacific finances
has been settled with the aid of
Gould. Reports come from Bos
ton and Philadelphia that Gould
has received control of the Ore
gon and Transcontinental, and
that either he or his representa
tives -will enter the directory of
the company.
Congress assembles on the
3d of December, and on that date
-will begin the work of savins: the
country, for from the day cn
gress meets begins the manipula
tion that ends thirteen months
from now in the election of a
president. The next house of
representatives will consist, under
the apportionment of the last
census, of 325 members, an in
crease of thirty-two members over
several preceding houses. It will
be composed of 191 Democrats,
119 Republicans, a Independents,
2 Greenbackerg and 0 Readjustee.
This gives the Democrats fifty-
nine majority over all parties.
This body was elected, as all con
gresses are, thirteen months in
advance of its assembling. The
senate consists of thirty-eight Re
publicans, thirty-six Democrats,
and two Readjusters, Mahone and
Riddleberger, who are Democrats,
yet give the senate a Republican
majority. The tariff will form an
important theme for the -101 state-
men at Washington to discuss,
but the election of 'SI will be the
influencing motive of all action.
"The Chinese are not the sol
diers that the French are," says
ex-Congressmen Bookwalter, who
has just been round the world,
"but they have a clear policy.
They are the best diplomatists, in
the world. The Chinese state of
fice is regarded as "the keenest on
the globe.. The influence of the
Chinese among all those eastern
people is subtle and perfect.
Fancy the accuracy and skill of a
government -which, under one
system, can control 450,000,000
people."
The river Tay, -which is the-
most productive of the British
salmon streams, rents for an ag
gregate of over 20,000, and to
provide that sum, pay the work
ing expenses and yield a profit to
those who lease the fisheries, it
has been calculated that salmon to
the value of JL'GO,000 must be
caujrht, say, S0,000 fish, each of
the value of fifteen shillings. This
would seem to have been accom
plished, for it is expected that the
rental will be higher next year.
lx 1SGG the best railroad time
between New York and New Or
leans was live days, and the pas
senger had to make nine changes,
many of them long rides from de
pot to depot. In 1S69 the time
was reduced ta four days; in 1873
to three and a half days, and in
1S78 to three days and only one
change. Now the time has been
reduced to fifty-eight hours.
There is an article going the
rounds of the press entitled "Why
college-bred men succeed," which
contains' considerable flummery.
To one colloge-bred boy who sue
ceeds, there are one hundred who
got their education as a chicken
picks up its breakfast, a scattered
grain here and there, and who
succeed because it -was in them.
The title of the article is itself a
solecism.
It is alleged that a man
lias
been found in San Francisco who
refused a proffered office worth
3,000 a year, but the improbable
story lacks confirmation. If so,
the individual must be the most
lonesome man in the United
States.
The next great railroad "spike"
celebration will probably be an
international one. On the lstof June
next, it is understood by parties
who are interested in the enter
prise here, the Mexican Central
will be completed, thus establish
ing direct connection between the
"halls of Montezuma" and the rail
road svstem of the United States.
Witiiix the past week Phila
delphia's postmaster has detained
3,000 packages under the depart
ment's orders ihat mail matter on
which insufficient postage has
been paid shall lie held until no
tice is given the sender that he
must pay full postage; if he wants
the package to go to its destina
tion.
Comi'AUED with last year immi
gration has fallen otf twenty per
cent. Better times in Germany
accounts for it, and the improved
condition of German industries is
due largely to oneration of the
protective tariff.
The Tonquin question is thus
summarized b the London Times:
France can only obtain Tonquin
through war with China; she may
have Anam and make commercial
settlements in Tonquin without
further trouble.
